A minimalistic photograph whose composition could be a little better, but really, it doesn’t matter. Photo: SkyWanderer :)

This photo showcases some excellent preparation by the photographer, who didn’t leave anything at all to chance—not the model, nor their makeup, nor their outfit, nor the site. Photo: Voytek

A photo with soul that just radiates great atmosphere. We appreciate the superb backlighting. The center composition doesn’t suit the photo well, but that’s not such a terrible flaw. Photo: arun

This photograph radiates well-being and calm. Without the fisherman, this photograph would be rather boring. He’s the one who gives it its atmosphere. Photo: basa

The technical quality could be better, but the work against the light and the work with composition are very nice. This landscape photo has a foreground, a subject, and a background. In short, everything a photo like this should have. Photo: AdKarpin

I’ve been taking pictures since 2004. When I was starting out, I photographed almost everything. Later my style solidified and I began photographing people almost exclusively. At the moment my main genres are fashion and advertising.
